Show COLLEGIATE LIFE <br><br> GET BUSY, GIRLS! <br> With spring coming on the girls will have a chance to show their appreciation of the weather by getting up a bsketball [sic] team. There is plenty of good material-enough to get up class teams, anyway. The girls, of course, are hampered by never having had a basketball team before, but there is nothing like starting a good ball rolling. <br> Then there is a possibility for a tennis tournament. Tennis is said to conduce more to gracefulness than any other game which is popular. As all of us are graceful, we ought to be able to put the ball over the net in fine style. <br> The boys have done most of the work in the school, this year. Now the girls have a chance to show their mettle. Let them take it. <br><br> WHAT TO DO. <br> If you would be an angel fair, <br> When death has done you brown, <br> With wings made of pure silver, <br> And a golden harp and crown; <br> In short, if you would quickly end <br> Your troubles, slurs ano [sic] sins: <br> You hustle ‘round and get a dime <br> And plank it down for "Life." <br><br> If you're tired of this dizzy life, <br> And would like to travel where <br> Cross, chronic cranks can not digest <br> The mirthful bill of fare: <br> Just hustle ‘round and get a dime <br> And plank it down for "Life." <br><br> If you want a scalper's ticket <br> Through to realms of endless joy, <br> Where kickers never make a kick, <br> And grumblers don't annoy: <br> Just hustle ‘round and get a dime <br> And plank it down for "Life." <br><br> If you would laugh and fatten, <br> And split your sides with mirth, <br> And feel so jolly that you think <br> You really own the earth: <br> Just hustle ‘round and get a dime <br> And plank it down for "Life." <br><br> If you have that tired feeling, <br> And want sure and quick relief <br> That will bring peace and happiness, <br> And drive away your grief: <br> Just hustle ‘round and get a dime <br> And plank it down for "Life." <br><br> BY A GIRL. <br> The article that attracted the most attention in the last number of Collegiate Life, was the one that suggested a little adhesive plaster for the girls. Although it is the truth, the girls ought to resent such statements by showing the boys that they can "stick" together without the assistance of sticking plaster. The trouble is that the girls don't seem to realize that they are the majority in the school and the majority rules, generally. We seem to be the exception. <br><br> |
